7PM★NH PREMIER**
Noah was still in the office,he decided to stay and finish up some work before going home and that's why he's working late.
The door suddenly opened and Vivian entered which made Noah look up.
"I said I don't want to be disturbed" he said.
"I'm sorry but that girl is here again,she insisted on seeing you" Vivian said and immediately Noah knew who she was talking about.
"That spy again" He muttered beneath his breath.
"Let her in" He said and Vivian gave him a surprise look but Noah didn't see that. Vivian went out and a minute after,Birdie came in.
"Why are you here this time?" Noah asked.
Birdie walked closer and placed two bottles of strawberry milk on the table,Noah raised his brows.
"Thanks for taking me home last night" She smiled.
"I told you it was a pay back for helping me....."
"Take this as a payback also" Birdie muttered.
"You can also pay me back again" She added with a smile and Noah scoffed.
"You should have said this is a bribe" he said and Birdie chuckled.
"What do you want?"
"Take me home tonight again," Birdie immediately said.
"Nope,I'm too busy for that child's play now as you can see" Noah replied.
"I....."
"No,you should go home before it's late" Noah said and Birdie took her lips in sadly.
"Goodnight" She mumbled and slowly walked out of the office.
He's really an anaconda,He's heartless" Birdie muttered as she walked toward the bus stop.
Suddenly a car stopped beside her and she turned.
"Hey" Waylon smiled at her.
"Sir....."
"Waylon," Waylon immediately said.
"Waylon?" Birdie called and he nodded.
"I'm going to get the milk ,wanna come along?" Waylon asked.
"Really?" Birdie asked excitedly.
"Sure,I will take you home afterward,promise" Waylon said And Birdie nodded.
"Come in" Waylon said and Birdie almost made a move when another car parked,she looked up to see Noah inside the car.
"Get in before I change my mind" He said coldly and Birdie blinded twice not believing her eyes.
She looked at Waylon.
"What are you waiting for?" He asked,ignoring Noah.
"Hey Spy kid,are you coming or not?" Noah also asked.
Birdie became speechless

Birdie left Waylon's car side and ran over to meet Noah,she stood by the driver side and Noah raised his eyebrows.
"I don't want to disturb you,and then I have to follow Waylon to get milk for his puppy....."
"Hey,why are you explaining this to me? Just go" Noah cut her off and she bit her lips.
"Goodnight" She mumbled and left.
"Seriously? Waylon? She doesn't even know him,she met him just today" Noah scoffed,he was still there when Waylon's car drove past him.
His phone suddenly started ringing and he answered the call at once.
"What are you talking about?" Noah frowned.
After listening to whatever the person who called him said,he hung up the call and drove off with a deep frown on his face.

"Do you know him well?" Waylon asked Birdie after some minutes of silence.
"Who? Anaconda?" Birdie faced him and Waylon raised his brows.
"What's Anaconda?" He asked and Birdie chuckled.
"He's cold and mean,that's why I gave him the name" She replied.
"Oh" Waylon mouthed.
"Do you know him so well?" He asked further.
"I'm just a fan,and I always deliver his favorite drink to the company," Birdie replied and Waylon nodded.
"That place" Birdie pointed out at a building with lights on.
Waylon stopped his car right in front of it and they both came down.
PUPPIES LOVE was written on the building,they entered and immediately they were attended to.
"You're so amazing Birdie,I wouldn't have gotten this without you" Waylon said on their way out.
"You're welcome," she smiled.
"Where do you live?" Waylon asked.
"Just......some street to this place" Birdie replied and Waylon chuckled.
"Come on,get in" He said and she smiled before getting inside.
Waylon started the car again.

NOAH'S ISLAND**
The gate opened automatically and drove in. Just by the gate were some guards and a man in his thirties,Noah stopped his car and came out.
"Welcome boss" The guards bowed.
Noah ignored the greetings and faced the man,that's Santiago,Noah's uncle who he Stayed with for a few years and one of the family who took his parents properties all for themselves.
"You're finally here,dear nephew," Santiago said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" Noah asked coldly.
"It's been a while,like.....eight years now..."
"What are you doing here?!!" Noah yelled impatiently and Santiago smiled.
"You need to calm down...."
"How did you even find out where I live? How?" Noah faced the guards.
"Why did you let him in?" He asked them angrily.
"He told us he's a family boss"
"Do I ever f**the king told you that I have a family?! Do I!" Noah snapped and they bowed.
"Noah" Santiago called and Noah faced him.
"If you Call me once more,I am going to do what I will regret,I swear" Noah swore.
"I'm here because I need your help,,I need some money for my business,I'm at the point of going bankrupt,your sister is going to college too"
"Sister? Do I have a sister? The last time I checked,I'm the only child of my parents" Noah said.
"My daughter......."
"My parents' money that you stole,why not take from it? You refused to send me to college because you have your own child to take care of,you should be able to take out that money or ask any of your family to help you Santiago" Noah said,going back to his car.
"Noah please wait!....." Santiago made to run after him.
"Throw him out" Noah ordered and immediately the guards grabbed him from the back.
"Noah!! I'm still your uncle!! You can't do anything about it!! We are families!!!" Santiago shouted as they dragged him out.
Noah entered his car and drove in,he got to the main building and the guards there ran to him but they moved back seeing his face.
"Next time y'all allow any f**king strange person in here without my permission,get ready to lose your job" He said and went in.
He was fuming with so much anger that it's hard to control no matter how he tries. Thereason why he doesn't like getting angry,he always goes crazy more than he can handle.
He walked straight to the wine cellar and grabbed a bottle of whiskey,he opened it and started gulping without stopping,all he wanted that very moment was to forget about what just happened. How could Santiago find him in his house? After everything he made him go through.
Noah doesn't want to take his mind back to the past but he just couldn't help it the moment he saw Santiago.
"What?....His daughter needs money for college?? What the f**k does that have to do with me?" Noah scoffed and continued drinking again.
He remembered the day he got admission Into college,back then he had one of the best results among his mates and he went home happily to inform his Uncle.

FLASHBACK★10 YEARS AGO**
Noah opened the door and entered the living room with a smiley Face,anyone would know that he was highly happy that evening. Santiago's wife,Jenny, was the one in the living room.
"I don't understand why you look so Happy but that face is so annoying" Jenny said and sixteen year old Noah stopped smiling immediately. Jenny hissed,she was busy brushing her daughter's hair,Arya who is just six years old.
Santiago walked into the living room also and Noah greeted him,as usual he ignored and sat down.
"Your nephew seems happy today" Jenny said to her husband and Santiago looked at Noah.
"Did something happen?" He asked.
Noah immediately moved closer,he was sure too happy that he couldn't wait to tell him the good news.
"You don't really have to go so close to him" Jenny snapped at him and he stopped,but anyways that didn't stop him from speaking up.
"I just checked my result uncle,I got admitted into College" Noah said excitedly.
"Seriously? That's why you're smiling? I mean who's going to send you to college?" Jenny asked and they smiled on Noah's Face dried off.
"But....Uncle......"
"Sorry Noah,but I don't have that money to take care of your education to that level,I have a wife and daughter also,my brother should have just waited and not die miserably so he could take care of his son" Santiago cut in and Noah was speechless.
Even when he was young,he knew these people were living off his parents' money.He's not even asking for anything,but at least he needs to study so he would have a career at least.
